Examples
In contrast, the morphologically similar seeds of Liliales have no phytomelan, and usually retain a cellular structure in the inner portion of the seed coat.
As with any herbaceous group, the fossil record of the Liliales is rather scarce.
This demonstrated that the Lilianae comprised three lineages corresponding to Dahlgren's Dioscoreales, Liliales, and Asparagales orders.
Compared to Liliales, they usually have plain tepals without markings in the form of dots.
The inner part of the seed coat is generally collapsed, in contrast to Liliales whose seeds have a well developed outer epidermis, lack phytomelanin, and usually display a cellular inner layer.
The Liliales was difficult to divide into families because morphological characters were not present in patterns that clearly demarcated groups.
